And if you think your backups are private because you “don’t store them on Google,” think again.

Most people sleepwalk into backup strategies that work technically but fail tactically. You're backing up your files, yes. But you're also backing up your footprint. Your metadata. Your identifiers. Your exposure.

I use mega although not for my privacy sensitive files (the few that are there have their own encryption). But in theory the anonimity of the file hoster doesnt matter as much as long as people use apps like cryptomator to shield their files off.

I'm getting an error code indicating midirected requests. That might want to be fixed.

I've gotten rid of everything sensitive, and have some non-sensitive files on one or two for testing purposes.

Yes. Site is currently down. Something on host side

Was able to confirm it.
